The China Bag: Cats and Dogs by Ai Weiwei is a collectible artist bag published by TASCHEN, combining wearable design with the artist’s interest in Chinese craft, domestic symbolism, and contemporary visual culture. The motif is based on Ai Weiwei’s Cats and Dogs papercut, originally created for his TASCHEN Papercut Portfolio, connecting traditional paper-cut language with the artist’s personal and political iconography.

Made from white PVC with a transparent inlay, the bag measures 47 × 64.5 cm / 18.5 × 25.4 in and is presented framed in clear plastic, ready to hang on the wall. Produced in a limited edition of 2,500, with a printed signature on the bag and numbering on the box, The China Bag: Cats and Dogs is both a functional design object and a display-ready wall piece. A strong collectible for fans of Ai Weiwei, TASCHEN editions, wearable art, Chinese papercut motifs, animal imagery, and contemporary artist multiples.
